What is the meaning of patent general license transfer? How to distinguish between patent licensing and transfer?

How to understand the transfer of patent general license? China's patent law stipulates that patents can be traded and transferred, and patents can also be licensed; But everyone needs to understand that patent licensing and patent transfer are completely different concepts; Why is this a different category? Because patent licensing means that the right to transfer is still in hand, and it is licensed to those who need to use patented technology, and patent transfer is a complete patent transfer. Generally speaking, there is no so-called general patent transfer, only the so-called general patent license. If the patentee does not want to directly transfer the patented technology, the patentee can choose the way of patent licensing, so as to ensure that the patent is his own and can be licensed to others. According to the patentee's own needs, whether to transfer or transfer the license, let's first understand the difference between patent license and patent transfer. Generally speaking, patent transfer can enable the patentee to obtain the value brought by patent application transfer in a short time. Generally speaking, the price of transferring a patent will be higher, but if it is licensed, it may cost a little less. By limiting the time when a patent is used, it can also be transferred by many people, and the economic benefits will be considerable. If the general license of a patent is not exclusive, the patent can still be licensed in many ways and will continue to develop, but if it is directly transferred, the price needs to be considered, unless the patentee is in urgent need of financial support, or the patentee has many patents, most of them may choose to license; Of course, the premise is good patents, and patented technologies that meet the needs of the public can be bought.
